Be Free

See the heat shimmer on the asphalt
Wipe the sweat off your brow and crack a smile.
On the way to a show in the middle of nowhere, when we were reckless, we were wild.
Feels like a fever dream
We got older and the world got mean
Before the debt, death, and disease
We figured out what it meant to be free
Subtle at first, then it takes hold
Time chips away at those we love
First a crack, then a fracture, tape it up but we crumble into dust
See your breath in the cold of winter
Shrug it off, put shoulder to the wheel
Walk alone on the darkest nights, but you remember what it was
How it made you feel

Technicolor

Dream a technicolor dream, vibrant in a way no one has ever seen
Tonight we'll black out memory, much better to forget some things
Down here, in the quiet arms of sleep we'll go
Around here, anything is possible
Found you in the monochrome, now we see color like we've never known

Go-getter what's got you feeling down?
All the way out, on your own again?
All the thoughts, racing through your head
What you could've done, who you should've been
Put aside and play pretend
Are you feeling not up to task these days?
Your intentions are good, but your bones can't support the weight
Do you wanna leave? Vanish without a trace?
I've felt the same
Neon lights aren't just a passing phase
Waste away the time, mask the pain.
You weren't yourself, you can't be blamed.
Wouldn't it be nice though? To feel whole again?
At peace in your own skin.
Can't drop out or run away
When everybody knows your name
(So) Put another dollar in the jukebox
Turn it up
Take a sip, close your eyes shut
Sing along because it makes us feel alive
The weight of expectations is stuck outside.
